Make Your Own Natural Baby
It is very important to try to limit a baby’s exposure to harmful chemicals. Children are more vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals than adults. Their immune systems and central nervous system are immature and still developing, which means their bodies are generally less capable of eliminating toxins.
As well, children have roughly double the skin surface of adults per unit of body weight, so a child can absorb proportionally more chemicals.
The last thing a baby needs on his or her skin are the harsh synthetics and chemical ingredients found in most products.
Why not make your own baby care products, using non toxic and natural ingredients?
In this class you will make and take home:
Baby Bath Wash
Baby Wipes
Baby Mild Laundry Powder
as well as other recipes and tips for keeping baby free of harmful chemicals.
You are welcome to bring pre-schoolers with you.
You will take home the products you make.

Make Your Own Beauty Products
Make your own beauty products to keep harmful chemicals off of your skin. Homemade creams, soaps and other products can be just as luxurious and fragrant as their commercial counterparts but you can avoid artificial chemicals – and the headache of dealing with all that packaging waste.
Although beauty products don’t have to list their ingredients, they often contain pthalates, formaldehyde, parabens and other chemicals that have been shown to harm animals in lab tests, and which are being phased out in Europe in favor of less toxic alternatives.
Plus, you don’t want any nasty stuff getting into our fragile waterways, do you? That’s what happens when cosmetics and personal care products are washed down the drain. Frogs and aquatic life are highly susceptible to damage from even minute contamination.
Why not get beautiful in less risky ways?
